1. DIY ARTWORK OPTIONSPOPP recognizes the multitude of community, authenticity, visual, recognition, place destination and maintenance benefits offered by public, community or customer-driven art. The POPP ICON outdoor ping pong table is designed to have DIY (Do It Yourself) Artwork* applied to its Artwork Area, if desired by the customer. DIY Artwork can be applied on multiple occasions (over original painted surfaces and existing DIY Artworks) in accordance with the recommendations herein.

*DIY Artwork can be original work, typography, designed elements, contrasting block colors, patterns, logos, park, sponsor or donor names, mottos, emblems, mascots or slogans. POPP recommends customers consider DIY Artwork for their table. Please note: POPP does not recommend DIY Artwork be digitally printed adhesive vinyl.

The following details the recommended DIY Artwork options available to customers:

*1 - An Existing Artwork file may be an existing logo, park or donor name, motto, emblem, mascot, slogan or other artwork file that the customer has and would like applied to the table.

*2 - Sign Shops are independent and local professionals engaged by the customer. Please note: Sign shops employ different processes - from hand-painted applications using brushes, marker pens, aerosols and rollers to using digitally generated low-tack, removeable adhesive vinyl stencils (cut using a plotter) for cleaner application using brushes, rollers and aerosols (the stencil is removed after paint has been applied to the table). POPP recommends that the customer understands from the Sign Shop the process they employ and the limitations that process may have in applying the artwork.

*3 - The Artist Brief provides customers with both practical and creative information required to effectively brief Artists and Designers.

*4 - The Artwork Template provides Artists and Designers an ICON template (Illustrator, PDF and Photoshop files) to mock up DIY Artwork concepts for approval by the customer.

*5 - The DIY Artwork Application Checklist provides all relevant information for the Applicator of the DIY Artwork including table preparation, recommended products and application processes.

POPP provides this DIY Artwork Information document as a guideline for artwork application however customers must take steps to understand the process, limitations and risks. POPP does not accept responsibility for DIY Artwork application or modification or rectification of DIY Artwork and recommends that the customer discuss this process with the Artist, Designer or Sign Shop prior to DIY Artwork application.

Prior to any DIY Artwork application, the table must undergo comprehensive and necessary cleaning and preparation by the DIY Artwork Applicator. This ensures both that DIY Artwork paints properly adhere to the surface and that the original surface treatment is not damaged. Please refer to the 4. DIY Artwork Application Checklist for full details.

D) TABLE PREPARATION

E) PROFESSIONAL FINISHES

To achieve a professional DIY Artwork finish, POPP strongly recommends that DIY Artwork applicators consider, where suitable:

- Using digitally generated low-tack, removeable adhesive vinyl stencils (cut using a plotter)

- Masking extensively to eliminate overspray (if using aerosols)

- Masking for linework to ensure clean lines

- Using marker pens for crisp outlines, edges and linework

- Applying primers (if required) and coats of paint as is sufficient to produce ‘block’ colors (with no transparency) and waiting the appropriate curing time between coats

- Cleaning (using a dilute solution of a mild liquid detergent in warm water and a clean cloth) - all spills, blotches, drops or runs of paint on the table surface as and when they happen.

POPP recommends that DIY Artwork should be 1) player-friendly and 2) visually appealing. To achieve this, Artists and Designers should:

G) CLEAR COAT FINISHES

PERSPECTIvE (.JPEG)

POPP does not recommend clear coat or ‘anti graffiti’ finishes or polishes over DIY Artwork because they may:

- React to and damage the paints in the DIY Artwork (resulting in cracking, bubbling and peeling of the DIY Artwork)

- React to and damage the original surface treatment on the table (including cracking, bubbling and peeling of the original surface treatment)

- Be difficult to remove and thereby prevent future DIY Artwork applications

- ‘Yellow’ or discolor over time

- Degrade at different rates over time

Please note: POPP does not accept any responsibility for damage caused as a result of clear coat or ‘anti-graffiti’ finishes or polishes.

4. DIY ARTWORK APPLICATION CHECKLIST

tASK DESCRIPtIOn COMPLEtED

1. CLEANClean the table surface (specifically the Artwork Area) with a dilute solution of a mild liquid detergent in warm water and a medium bristle brush. Avoid excessively hot solutions, do not use abrasive tools and do not use strong solvent type cleaners.

2. RINSE After cleaning, rinse the table surface thoroughly with fresh water.

3. DRY Let the table dry completely or dry the table surface thoroughly with a clean towel.

4. DROP SHEETSPosition drop sheets on and around the table to ensure excess paint is not spilled on or marks the ground. Additional safety, preparation and OHS requirements may be required and will be detailed by the customer, including but not limited to ventilation masks and protective eyewear.

5. EXISTING ARTWORKIf DIY Artwork is to be applied over an existing artwork, generally a new base coat over the existing artwork is required or may be preferred. If so, complete steps 7, 8 and 9 below and ensure that the table is smooth before applying a new base coat.

6A. APPLY STENCILIf you are using digitally generated low-tack, removeable adhesive vinyl stencils cut using a plotter (recommended), then apply the stencils to the Artwork Area in the pre-determined order for paint or marker application.

6B. OR - SKETCH OUTLINE If you are not using digitally generated low-tack, removeable adhesive vinyl stencils cut using a plotter, then sketch by hand the DIY Artwork design outline or form the linework using masking tape.

7. SANDING

To ensure adhesion of the DIY Artwork paints to the table surface, use a 120 grit wet dry sandpaper to lightly “rough up” the surface of the Artwork Area only. Do not sand outside the Artwork Area. The Artwork Area should show a visible but light abrasion when wiped clean however it should not show the primer layer of surface treatment or the bare metal beneath.

8. WIPE CLEAN Wipe the Artwork Area clean with a clean cloth and water. Ensure no dust remains on the Artwork Area.

9. DRY Dry the Artwork area with a dry and clean cloth. Ensure the Artwork Area is completely dry.

10. MASK If using aerosol sprays, mask up all areas that will not be sprayed to prevent overspray on other parts of the table or artwork area.

11. PRIMER Apply primers (if required) to the Artwork Area depending on the paint or block color requirements. Wait for adequate curing times as per the manufacturer’s instructions and specifications.

12. PAINT Apply paints as required to the Artwork Area. Wait for adequate curing times as per the manufacturer’s instructions and specifications before applying additional coats.

13. SPILLS If there are spills, blotches, overspray, drops or runs of paint, then clean while still wet with a clean wet cloth. If dried, clean using Windex spray (or similar) and a clean cloth.

14. REPEAT Repeat all of these steps for additional stencil areas and colors, as required.
